Interesting take! I have seen the OP's programs, and his programming
sophistication is very low indeed. His user interface is a combination
of source-code editing (using his very ancient IDE) and the program
soliciting input in an interactive series of prompts/reads.

What he appears to ask for and what he actually wants are frequently
very different.

It is vaguely conceivable he was asking how to make a desktop
symlink (Correct name shortcut? I'm a Unix weenie), but I suspect
he wants a GUI first, and I doubt he'll make any headway. I've done
a PoC GUI in Ada, and I didn't enjoy the experience.
